Director of Los Angeles County Department of Public Health Barbara Ferrer speaks during a press conference at the USC Health Sciences Campus in Los Angeles on Monday, April 1, 2024. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health announced on Friday, June 14, that a phishing attack in February allowed a hacker to gain log-in credentials of 53 employees, compromising the personal information of more than 200,000 people.
Additionally, notifications were distributed to all workforce members to remind them to be vigilant when reviewing e-mails, especially those including links or attachments. Law enforcement was notified and they investigated the incident, according to DPH. Affected individuals may have been impacted differently and not all of the elements listed were present for each individual, DPH said.
DPH said it has implemented numerous enhancements to reduce exposure to similar e-mail attacks in the future.
